Evans (6-foot-4 3/4, 231) left A&M following his redshirt sophomore year after posting a combined 151-2,499-16.5-17 stat line across two seasons. He'll be a 21-year-old rookie. Johnny Manziel's go-to guy, Evans relentlessly made contested catches in heavy traffic in the SEC, and has field-stretching speed (4.53), incredibly long arms (35 1/8"), and a 37-inch vertical. A standout youth basketball player who averaged 18.3 points per game as a senior at Galveston (TX) high, Evans' natural ball skills are the best in this draft. Also a strong run blocker, Evans is most commonly compared to new teammate Vincent Jackson. He offers WR1 potential in Dynasty leagues and could flirt with double-digit TDs as a rookie. He'll be a Week 1 starter. Thu, May 8, 2014 09:00:00 PM

Draft Insider Tony Pauline reports that even though the Browns like Texas A & M QB Johnny Manziel, the Browns prefer Texas A & M WR Mike Evans at the No. 4 spot.

"I’m told while the Cleveland Browns like Manziel they don’t like him enough to use the fourth pick of the draft on him. The name that continues to pop up for the franchise at that selection is receiver Mike Evans," Pauline wrote. For sometime now, evaluators have had the Browns as the potential landing spot for Clemson's Sammy Watkins. Our own Josh Norris has had Mike Evans going to the Browns at the No. 4 since mid April.

Texas A&M WR Mike Evans has flown up draft boards over the past week, according to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer.

Glazer, it should be clarified, is talking about draft boards within the league, as opposed to the media. Evans could go as high as No. 4 to Cleveland, as CBS Sports' Dane Brugler first reported last week. Numerous teams have also kicked around the idea of trading up for him, including Buffalo, Detroit and San Francisco. Don't be surprised if he goes in the top five. Tue, May 6, 2014 08:48:00 PM

ESPN's John Clayton believes "if the price isn't too expensive, the Detroit Lions would like to move up a few spots" to draft Texas A&M WR Mike Evans.

With the Lions sitting at the No.10 spot, they may have to move up to the No.3 spot to secure the right to draft Evans. Some evaluators believe Evans could be higher on the Browns board than WR Sammy Watkins sitting at the No.4 spot. Our own Josh Norris seconds that emotion, and has Mike Evans slated to the Browns at No. 4 in his latest mock draft. Mon, May 5, 2014 02:14:00 PM
